Fun with my game in XNA Game Studio

[JDoucette]

This is the XNA 2D tutorial... anyone watching this should, as I've said before many times, run through this.. In one night... and you'll see what it's capable of. Amazing tools! It could change your life...

[KXMoon]

you're moving on from a language after half-assing ONE tutoiral on XNA which has all assets, codes, libraries, and not to mention the whole fucking project in the bundle? This is sad.

[wotofoko]

This game is not yours =/

[MinkisProductions]

looks good man!

plan on selling it?

[nobodypersonsomeone]

I find C# windows applications easy, but XNA is just beyond me :(

[KXMoon]

@nobodypersonsomeone XNA is basically a collection of libraries for use in C#. Basically, instead of using a bunch of lines of code just to define a point, XNA does that for you. Basically, Microsoft made a framework for you to work with, instead of you just starting from scratch, so it's MUCH much easier.

[JDoucette]

@nobodypersonsomeone Nah.. it's simple.. run through the XNA 2D tutorial... in one night... and you'll see what it takes. That's what this video is about. Just do it, one night, seriously... and then judge the next morning. I trust by the time you're half way through you won't want to stop the tutorial and you'll go all night to finish. It's that cool and easy...

[Necrofitzia]

When I made this game I got it working and I made a pause menu where you can edit the variable numbers like in this. lol

[korn2disturbed]

nice creation and thanks for posting the links in the more info 5*

[dexxx83]

Nice copy pasta! Hopefully Mircosoft doesn't take legal action if you claiming that this is your game

[kyle10590]

Hey homo, in the bottom of the description I put a link to the tutorial so others can make this too.

[Logistics43]

@dexxx83 Herp derp derp, newfags can't read descriptions :S

[LogicRising]

this is quite possibly the BEST DAMN GAME I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!

[littleallred008]

this isn't your game! You douchebag! microsoft put a tutorial of this on their site

[kallesmomm]

CAN YOU FIX A INDIE GAME?

[snatchblaster]

Can you send me your background you are using on your desktop. That broke LCD is awsome?

[Olisleven]

I couldn't do that tutorial... Not that I am a bad proggrammer but his voice... It's so monotone and slow and... Boring...

[slammerdakid]

xna is not a program. xna is a framework

[Necrofitzia]

And for the slow people - it's basically just a plugin for VS or C#

[xxtylerxx1]

man if you made that congrats

im trying to follow the guide to make

that game and everytime something

goes wrong =[

[kyle10590]

Like what? I may be able to help you out.

[xxtylerxx1]

Im trying to remake the game again

if i get any errors ill be sure to ask

you thanks ill add you

[kyle10590]

I'm now moving on and going with C++ since its the game industry standard language for game programming. I'll help you with that as much as I can also

[hell858]

XNA is so hard, coz everything is so mixed its hard to find where to put things

[hauntedsoul21]

lol did you mess with the amount of enemies drawn to the screen and my score is like +1 everytime you shoot an enemy i guess + 100 is a little more fun lol:P

[1stAreo8]

How much different from Java is C#. I code Java right now, but it 's not the best/fastest way to make games.

[kyle10590]

I wish I could answer that question for you, but I have yet to ever program in Java although I'm sure I will someday.

I hear that its pretty different. And this is way better for Game Development than Java. C/C++ is the best for getting a job in it, C# XNA is best for learning yourself.

[CafecitoConLeche]

Both are very very similar, you wont have problems...

[J1mp4n53]

totally agree, But C# is faster in executing, i think...

[GrayGreyGrai]

Im usi ng the xna game tutorial atm and i cant seem to get a came cannon ive done everything right so wth is wrong!??

[kyle10590]

Please use proper English so I can understand your problem...

[TheJugglinJuggla]

Hey, can you make FPS games with this?

I want to download it, but only if I can make shooters.

[djerrawr]

Yes, you can make anything imaginable with this.

But. I must warn you. Games take a lot of time and effort to make. Like i'm talking YEARS, if your doing it buy yourself. It takes big companies multiple years to create those games, and they've got a team of hundreds of people.

[Logistics43]

Actually, that is not entirely true. In some cases, video game developers will have small teams(maybe about 20 people) make a fairly good game in just a few months.

[djerrawr]

This is true, it really depends on their skill level. :)

[pulsegang]

nice but that is not your game

you get it when you start xna

[kyle10590]

No, you don't. 2005 comes with SpaceWars and 2008 comes with a sidescroller game.

[DamianProgrammer]

holy shit thats alot of space ships

[alston2reel]

i heard the used C# to make portal but thaey said C# is a good program if you have never leanerd the languages b$

[jbriggs06]

My c++ class gave us all copies of visual studios professional 08 for free!

[kyle10590]

Congratulations?

[jbriggs06]

I can't wait to learn to start making games(of course thats not what the class is going to teach). What language did you program yours with?

[kyle10590]

I made this with C#.

I have both Visual C++, and visual C# with XNA Game Studio 3.0

I have more understanding of C# though.

I haven't yet taken any classes I've been teaching myself which is what this project is for.

[jbriggs06]

Yea I was interested in C# as well but my school don't teach it, my professor said that most colleges don't teach both. What have you been using to teach yourself with?

[kyle10590]

I've been reading this book its called Head First C#.

Its a really good book thats easy on your brain lol.

I have 2 C++ books and 1 other C# book as well.

And for the game, I used a tutorial that really helped.

[jbriggs06]

Alright thanks I'll check that book out.

[kyle10590]

Its pretty good. Its not a book full of boring text. Its really helpful. Explains things clearly and makes it a lot of fun to learn. My C++ Reference isn't though. So its hard to learn it by myself.

Although since I'm going to be a Video Game Programmer, C++ is very important for me.

[jbriggs06]

Yea, my C++ book is pretty good it was very expensive though. I always wanted to be a video game programmer, but lately I don't know what kind of programing I want to do so, I'm just learning to be a general programmer.

[jacobscamell]

Hey there are many different sides of Game Development and it will never be the case where you have to do a whole game alone when it comes to pro game development. If i went into programing it would have to be Scripting in video games, it looks and sounds very fun.

[jbriggs06]

Yea I know that already, not just for game programing no professional program is written alone there are always teams as a matter of fact the advanced programing class are in that very team format.

[alston2reel]

what are some of the tutorials you used to begin

[JamesWatson5]

you douche

[alston2reel]

ma C# class did the same for us

[nineballssj9]

@jbriggs06 hey where can i get the professional
